In today’s edition of Pairing Sappy Love Songs with Tolkien characters, I imagine Aegnor sitting around in Mandos all day singing “The Flame” by Cheap Trick 🔥

……………………

Another night slowly closes in

And I feel so lonely

Touching heat freezing on my skin

I pretend you still hold me

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep

I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you

I can't believe you're gone

You were the first, you'll be the last

Wherever you go, I'll be with you

Whatever you want, I'll give it to you

Whenever you need someone

To lay your heart and head upon

Remember, after the fire, after all the rain

I will be the flame

I will be the flame

Watching shadows move across the wall

Feels so frightening

I wanna run to you, I wanna call

But I've been hit by lightning

Just can't stand up for fallin' apart

Can't see through this veil across my heart, over you

You'll always be the one

You were the first, you'll be the last

Wherever you go, I'll be with you

Whatever you want, I'll give it to you

Whenever you need someone

To lay your heart and head upon

Remember, after the fire, after all the rain

I will be the flame

I will be the flame

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep

I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you

You'll always be the one

You were the first, you'll be the last

Wherever you go, I'll be with you

Whatever you want, I'll give it to you

Whenever you need someone

To lay your heart and head upon

Remember, after the fire, after all the rain

I will be the flame

I will be the flame

My new little OC Celefindë, created for the Glorfindel story I write for this year’s TRSB, which is getting some fresh baked chapters this week. (Yes, her name is a play off of Glorfindel’s 😂)

Do you see it

Beleg v2 with snow ❄️

Here’s a happy little Yule Beleg to wish you Merry Christmas!

A very rare not-Elf sketch from me😂

[zivalight]

For today’s #Tolkientober prompt of “Darkness”, here’s an older sketch of Maeglin from 2022.

“And however that might be, Idril loved Maeglin not at all; and knowing his thought of her she loved him the less. For it seemed to her a thing strange and crooked in him, as indeed the Eldar ever since have deemed it: an evil fruit of the Kinslaying, whereby the shadow of the curse of Mandos fell upon the last hope of the Noldor. But as the years passed still Maeglin watched Idril, and waited, and his love turned to darkness in his heart.”

- Of Maeglin, Silmarillion

I decided with this one to combine the #Tolkientober prompts “Rivendell” and “Protection”

[zivalight]

For today’s #Tolkientober prompt “Reunion”, I did Elenwë and Turgon reuniting in Valinor 🥹

[zivalight]

For #Tolkientober prompt “Kindess”….here’s a wee Elrond

[zivalight]

Just in case you needed to be emotionally destroyed by beautiful and evocative artwork today 😭

Do not follow her, Turvo. Don’t go there, you mustn’t go! You cannot leave Itarillë – you cannot leave me! Don’t leave me!

Fingon and Turgon on the Helcaraxë! Since I still had these two on the brain, I decided to indulge in some more brotherly feels (or angst, in this case). This scene is sometime after Elenwë is lost; I imagine Turgon was so taken by despair in the days after that he nearly followed his wife, but Fingon stopped him in time. So Turgon had to release his grief some other way!

For Turgon’s face, I referenced War Pieta by Max Ginsburg since I really wanted his expression to be visceral. For some reason, drawing these types of expressions is lots of fun! XDD

[zivalight]

“But Fingon climbed to the foot of the precipice where his kinsman hung, and then could go no further; and he wept when he saw the cruel device of Morgoth. Maedhros therefore, being in anguish without hope, begged Fingon to shoot him with his bow; and Fingon strung an arrow, and bent his bow. And seeing no better hope he cried to Manwë, saying: ‘O King to whom all birds are dear, speed now this feathered shaft, and recall some pity for the Noldor in their need!’”
